Since last autumn, darkDark have been one of the buzziest electronic duos (and we also have been buzzing about them), wowing listeners with their cinematic take of the genre. Today, their first EP, Heathered, has been released for all to hear. The five-song record is filled with memorable numbers, such as the breathtaking “Shelter”, the dreamy “Moments”, and the heart-racing “Stay Close”. But it was their second single, “Restless”, that told us Genevieve Vincent and Chris James were on the path towards stardom. The song is enrapturing, a song that steals your heart and sweeps you to a place only seen in your dreams.

It wasn’t just what they created with this song that made us pay attention, but who they enlisted to sing lead vocals – Haley Bonar. Despite darkDark’s short portfolio, the great Canadian-American singer-songwriter and indie star jumped on the opportunity to perform with them. This told us all we needed about the duo – that they are electronica’s future.

As darkDark’s star grows brighter, what other artists could potentially collaborate with the Los Angeles-Austin duo? We think over time there will be dozens of musicians lining up to play with them. In the meantime, Vincent and James offer fifteen names they hope will be calling them in the near future. Read their wish list below, and they’ve provided a playlist as well. In addition, take a listen to Heathered on SoundCloud, and it will be the one record you’ll be spinning all weekend.
